CRONJE, Wessel Johannes ('Hansie') [1969-2002: Orange Free State, Leicestershire and South Africa]

A signed colour photograph (260 x 350 mm) taken before the Test match in Adelaide in 1994

It features the two captains, Cronje and Border, in tracksuits in front of the empty Giffen Stand, gazing upwards with happy expectation at the coin that Border has just flipped. The caption on the verso simply states '1994. The Toss'; subsequent events have provided ample scope for more waggish alternatives. However, when the image was inscribed in black felt-tipped pen 'Best wishes Hansie Cronje 30-1-98', the future was a foreign country yet to be visited ... In fine condition and definitely unique.
